I've found that Active, which is the default, is pretty useless as it tends to be a self-fulfilling prophecy sort of thing. Everyone sees the most active stuff and they become more active, keeping them at the top.
Hot works better for a balance between New and Active.
I recommend changing your default sort in your settings to anything but Active. While you are there, might want to change the default grouping from All to Subscribed.
Oddly enough, Active has been the best for me. When I sort by Hot, I get almost entirely 2+ year old posts. Guess it all depends what communities you've joined
I think “Hot” sorting was/is bugged on some instances. I think it was fixed in a lemmy update. I believe there was a Github issue tracking it.
